Samuel Simmons, 21, was arrested nearly a year after a Christmas Day crash that killed his passenger. Police say he was speeding—up to 79 mph in a 40 zone—and high on marijuana at the time.
A state trooper on the scene reported the “odor of burnt marijuana” from the vehicle. Later blood tests confirmed Delta-9-THC—the main psychoactive component in cannabis—in Simmons’ system.
